** Krauts vs Aussies: Official Match Thread ** [merged]

[edge275]

Looking forward to seeing our new signing.

bald defensive midfielder Marc Bresciano? me too. i've heard he's twice the holding mid Barry is. Top stuff.

cheers

I do love you think the joke originated there, shame you weren't around or even heard of city when it did.

One of the mancityfans.net jokes that live on forever. Such as the dreaded Alves 7 goals. People were saying it at least weekly 2 years on from the original thread.

Still fucking gets dredged up now and then. I am thinking it's clueless cunts who have nothing worthwhile to say, but are too stupid and attention seeking to try reading instead of posting.

Who's everyone supporting, the European Sauerkraut-Munching Swamp Bombing Box Heads or the Thieving Boomerang Foster's Swilling Deportee's?

I'm going with the Aussies for this one.

[brite blu sky]

Well i am going to suppress my natural instincts of love for all things fatherland, uber precise and orderly and swing my allegience behind the Socceroos. Oz simply have to qualify so that they can get a chance to meet the dirty cheating, diving, penalty grabbing Italians again and give them payback for 2006.

I think the Socceroos should treat this as a practice match for that forthcoming encounter and just pretend that Germany are in fact Italy.

1-0 to Oz 91min pen

in case anyone has forgotten... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/world_cup_2006/4991534.stm
here is an excerpt from the mild mannered BBC for the lazy

With the clock ticking down, Fabio Grosso marauded down the left flank and worked his way into the box before falling over Lucas Neill's prone body.

Totti kept his nerve to convert with the last kick of the game, breaking Australian hearts in Kaiserslautern.

[Esky]

Australia: Schwarzer, Neill, Moore, Cahill, Culina, Emerton, Wilkshire, Chipperfield, Grella, Valeri, Garcia.

Schwarzer
Wilkshere Neill Moore Chippers
Emerton Grella Culina
Valeri
Garcia Cahill

What the fuck is that!? No Kewell nor Kennedy? We don't have one forward on the pitch. Really going for a 0-0 here.

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

Couldn't really care who wins, just want GOALS please.

The phrase 'parking the bus' seems appropriate.

I swear to God if I ever saw Grosso walking down the street I would punch him in the testes. Was praying that he'd miss his penalty in the final.

If we somehow get out of our group I hope we draw Italy. That slimy fucker is injured this time though.

[ryanmjo]

Definitely pulling for the Aussies in this one.

[HeyMark]

Thats a poor starting 11 from the aussies! Really think Pim should have taken tommy oar in the squad.

I've backed the Germans to win the whole thing but I've a soft spot for the aussies from my time there, don't know who to support

[carl_feedthegoat]

It's a hard choice for me..we have our new boy playing for Germany and I dont want him fucking up at the back, but I'll be fucked if I ever want Germany to win anything so...........Aussies for me but I hope our boy plays a blinder.

[SORTED]

Germans should piss this, I'm still backin the underdogs tho.

I don't think he's starting is he?

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Im gonna go for the Germans just because i bet on them in the betting thread.

I was under the impression he was in the starting line up......we will soon know in 10 mins.

Bench. Lahm's at right back, Friedrich and Mertesacker in the middle. Don't think we'll see much of Boateng.

Leaving to watch the thing now. 4 years of waiting and we're going to hope Cahill scores from the one corner we're likely to win all match.

[Slim]

In an obviously earlier interview Pim Verbeek was asked if he was planning on using aussie's better mobility in order to break the germans down. His expression was "yeah, we aren't breaking anyone down, wait till you see our lineup"

Mertesacker and friedrich apparently (I probably got their spellings wrong) - Mertesacker is supposed to be a bit of a giant.

Martin Tyler just said something like, "The Australians back to pulling for their own national side after pulling for the US last night."
Not too sure about that.
